Hi,

I have an Excel file where users select the most recent version of a file in a network folder and import it. I would like to automate this step so that the macro automatically imports the most recent file.

I have tried to incorporate the code from this answer but cannot figure out the syntax as I am using SetUNCPath.
https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel...b-open-most-recently-created-file-folder.html

Does anyone know how I could do this?

Code:
Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Dim wb As Workbook, wb2 As Workbook
Dim sPath As String


'Set source workbook
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook

sPath = "\\Network Path\Sub Folder"
 If SetUNCPath(sPath) <> 0 Then
    FileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename _
    ("CSV Files,*.csv", _
    1, "Select One File To Open", , False)
    ''
    
    If FileToOpen = False Then
         MsgBox "No file specified.", vbExclamation, "No File Specified"
         Exit Sub
        Else
         
         Workbooks.Open Filename:=FileToOpen
    
    End If

Else
 MsgBox "Error in setting the UNC path - " & sPath
 End If

Thanks

Apologies, I had left out the top of the code and I could not edit my post.

Code:
Private Declare Function SetCurrentDirectoryA Lib "kernel32" _
 (ByVal lpPathName As String) As Long
 
Function SetUNCPath(sPath As String) As Long
 Dim lReturn As Long
 lReturn = SetCurrentDirectoryA(sPath)
 SetUNCPath = lReturn
End Function

Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Dim wb As Workbook, wb2 As Workbook
Dim sPath As String

'Set source workbook
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook

sPath = "\\FilePath\Process Test"
 If SetUNCPath(sPath) <> 0 Then
    FileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename _
    ("CSV Files,*.csv", _
    1, "Select One File To Open", , False)
    ''
    
    If FileToOpen = False Then
         MsgBox "No file specified.", vbExclamation, "No File Specified"
         Exit Sub
        Else
         
         Workbooks.Open Filename:=FileToOpen
    
    End If

Else
 MsgBox "Error in setting the UNC path - " & sPath
 End If
